I just picked up an 87 Trailboss 250 that needs a fuel tank. My buddy has a 90 Trailboss 250 but the fuel tanks are different and so are the oil tank placement as well as his has the plastic around his headlight. Is this something that I can upgrade over to my 87?

not without a ton of fabbing and frame mods. i happen to have a trail boss 250 tank. i would let you have it for just shipping if you want it. let me know.

if i'm not mistaken on my 87, the fuel and oil tank are the same piece right? of not then i'm pretty sure i need an oil tank....

the brakes i'm guessing are a manual cable setup? i tried using them and well they didn't stop the wheeler when i was hauling it off the truck.

aside from those two concerns, I think that's all I need to get it up and going. based on the pictures, do you see anything that may need attention? on the last picture, you can see the yellow tygon hose that's not attached to anything....I'm sure it's a shot in the dark but do you know what goes there? Oil tank? Bear with me as this is my first wheeler and I don't have a complete one to comare to Thanks for all the help!!!

i just went and looked i no longer have that tank. i am sorry i spoke too soon. i gave it away already. i am guessing the hose is a carb vent line. may i ask why you need a new gas tank?

as far as the oil tank you do not need one. your machine is a 2 stroke the oil tank holds the oil that mixes with your gas. most guys including me delete the oil tank and plug the oil pump line and carb line and just mix the 2 stroke oil directly with the gas before we pour it in the tank. this way you never have to worry about a failed oil pump, pinched line or clogged line. any of these things would result in engine failure of the worst kind. pre mixing it is the best way. dirt bikes, 250r's, banshees and blasters have run premix for years.
